The Anders-Slaton families wish to express our thanks to those of you who through God have given us strength, encouragement and comfort in our moments of pain and sorrow during the sudden demise of our son, husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.

Your outpouring of love, care and concern has meant more than words can ever tell. Our prayer is that God will bless each of you in a special way for helping us make it through our hours of sorrow.

On behalf of the City of Ruston, I should like to thank our citizens for their patience and understanding during the past several months while we have been busy working on a drainage project on North Trenton Street that will alleviate a long-standing drainage problem, while at the same time add a right turn lane at Vienna and Georgia to make it more traffic friendly.

Nothing has changed. Same old story. “Audit reveals accounting problems.” This year there was more than $1.6 million in items that could not be located. A total of $122,504 was removed from the property records because items/property hasn’t been located for three years.
